SAFELY PROCESSING A FLUID VIA MONITORING AND DECREASING EXPLOSIVENESS OF VAPOR-GAS SPECIES FORMED THEREFROM OR CONTAINED THEREIN

摘要

Safely processing fluid via monitoring and decreasing explosiveness of vapor-gas species formed therefrom, or contained therein. Fluid input unit 12, for transporting source fluid 24; first fluid processing unit 14, for receiving and processing fluid 26, and forming processed fluid including vapor-gas portion 30; vapor-gas explosiveness monitoring and decreasing unit 16, for measuring at least an indication of explosiveness level of vapor-gas portion 30, wherein if the measurement exceeds a pre-determined threshold explosiveness level (PDTEL), then vapor-gas portion 30 is condensed, for forming condensate and output vapor-gas 32 whose explosiveness level is less than lower explosion limit (LEL) of output vapor-gas 32; second fluid processing unit 18, for processing output vapor-gas 32, and forming processed vapor-gas product 34. Includes an output unit 20 for transporting processed vapor-gas product 34 as (vapor-gas, liquid, or/and solid) output products 36, for disposal, storage, or/and additional processing, and a central process control unit 22.
